Outside, posters of President Obama and the first lady were the only signs that Eastern Bloc was closed for a private party. To some regulars of the grungy gay bar in Manhattan’s East Village, the $100 minimum cover charge seemed too pricey for a Saturday night.
But for an Obama campaign fundraiser, the entrance fee was relatively modest, unlike some of the boisterous dancers at the “GoGo for Obama” event. The fundraiser, hosted by a gaggle of models, fashion editors and socialites, is just one of hundreds of such small, grass-roots events organized by individual donors and held throughout campaign season in private homes or during backyard barbecues. Saturday’s soiree proved that with broad support from new interest groups comes a new breed of campaign fundraiser — a kind that might make some buttoned-up campaign types wince.
The crowd of about 150 Obama supporters was cordial and relaxed, a mix of friends and fashion types, partying alongside male dancers wearing Obama ’08 boxer briefs (or, as one did, an American flag-themed thong) stuffed with the requisite $1 bills. (Only door proceeds went to the reelection fund; dancers kept their tips.)

LOL. Oboma must be so proud of his boys.
But if he had a son, would he look like them?
I have never been in a homosexual themed bar. I guess I’ve led a sheltered life. I wouldn’t know what to expect when I went in there.
For Heaven’s sake, NO PICTURES PLEASE!
Sphincters for the “O”.

“The fundraiser, hosted by a gaggle of models, fashion editors and socialites, is just one of hundreds of such small, grass-roots events...”
No, you propagandist liars. The “grassroots” is not comprised of models, fashion editors, and socialites. They would be more like the 1%, the snobby elite, the “good-ol’-city-boy-club.”
The TEA Party is a true, grassroots organization.

The brown nose is a nice touch.
Well, I'd think you'd want to sit down and keep your mouth closed.
Fabulous!
Who cares...
I understand they were collecting tips which were not going to the campaign do you think they will declare them on their taxes?
